Store reference to `call` function

Question

I noticed something curious earlier today. I can\'t seem to store a reference to the call property of a function, then execute it. Example:

var          


        

Answer 1

This is my favorite code in JavaScript:

var bind = Function.bind;
var call = Function.call;

var bindable = bind.bind(bind);
var callable = bindable(call);

You can use the bindable function to grab a reference to f.bind. Similarly you can use the callable function to grab a reference to f.call as follows:

var log = callable(console.log, console);

Now all you need to do is call the log function like any other function:

log("Hello World!");

That's all folks.
